| MagusDiablo said: So, in your opinion, we should keep supporting a company that, not only delays games on purpose, also delivers incomplete experiences, just for the sake of a vague promise of "keep making games"? Oh, also the same company told everyone over the media that we, Nintendo console owners, only like kiddy games over their "mature games"? I'm sorry, but I value my money more than that. I was one of the people that were overhyped about Watch_Dogs, and ended up totally frustrated with the delay. I used to support Ubisoft, getting games I wasn't satisfied with, just because they promised that they would deliver big things for us, and that they wouldn't let us down. But now I'm disappointed at them. And, as what happened to EA, I'll stop with said support. They won't see a penny from me anymore. |
I think everyone agrees that the game can be completed with only what is on the disk, so they are indeed providing a complete experience. The DLC is totally option and you can enjoy the full game without it, and you have to take into account that the sales of DLC on the Wii U well... it sucks, so is not solid financial sense to provide it for the very small amount of people who would but it.
The statement that the company provided to the media is 100% accurate and I dare you to challenge it, here it is: "What we see is that Nintendo customers don’t buy Assassin’s Creed. Last year, we sold in very small numbers." The gross generalization was a twist of some sites, but as you can see, he is right, we don't buy Assassin's Creed games, and they sold very small numbers last year.
We are a very vocal but small minority, I bet if everyone on this community buy a game or don't buy a game, we will not even register on their scale, if you indeed bought their games, that was a step in the right direction but sadly it was not enough, and not offering the DLC is the right bussiness decision, it suck for us, but if you are able to step in others shoes you will see that for many of us is not a reason not to buy a game that we want, specially when not all of us have a second console or gaming PC to say that "I will get another version".
Nobody is telling you to buy a game that you don't want, but if "punishing" the publisher is your reason for not doing it, you are only hurting you more than you are hurting them, and on the side you are hurting other fellow gamers than would like to get more 3rd party support even if it delayed and lacking DLC, because we just don't have enough money to get a second console or a gaming PC.
